Where District 300 Tax Hikers’ Campaign Bench Go?
Daily Herald columnist Amy Mack reports that Westfield Community School’s Parent-Teacher Organization will pop for a bench covered with ceramic pieces with green symbolizing Advance 300 (the tax hike committee) and “red, white and blue to represent voter support.”
I suppose it will be put on school property the same way the green ribbons were right before the election.
Come to think of it, the colors for the citizens aren’t too bad a choice.
Red could represent the huge tax increase. White could symbolize how the pale opponents’ faces when they learned of the impending red ink in their check books. And blue could represent to color of senior citizens’ skin when they get taxed out of their homes.
Mack ends with the tongue-in-check suggestion that a second bench be placed at the bike path across from Jack Roeser’s Otto Engineering factory in Carpentersville.
Does that mean she favored the referendums' passage?

It would give new meaning to the term “benched,”she wrote.

A bench isn't such a bad idea. Striking teachers will need a place to rest while the board considers their next set of ridiculous demands.
Teacher leaders will be able to stand on the bench with a megaphone shouting "Look at all this extra tax money D-300 has, they're not paying us enough". All the while the more-money-than-brains crowd will join in, demanding the board cave and hand them hefty raises.
When the district runs out of money in a few years, they'll create another doomsday scenario to badger taxpayers for more money. If they win, the new wave of homeless residents will fight over who gets to sleep on the bench each night.
This bench will liklely see plenty of use.
